CSM Job, Career Fair Business Early-Bird Registration Feb. 25

Employer registration is underway for the College of Southern Marylands annual Tri-County Job and Career Fair at the La Plata Campus April 8.

This is an excellent opportunity for employers to get their face out there and engage with the public, said CSM Assistant Director of Employment and Employee Relations Tonia Miles-Carvana. Employers and people looking for jobs can learn about each otherthe kinds of careers that are available right now or jobs that might become available in the future.

Carlos Montague, president and CEO of Port Tobacco Consulting, a defense contractor with an office in La Plata, has participated in several job and career fairs, including some technical fairs. In addition to meeting potential employees and collecting resumes for future jobs, the fairs are a great way to get our company out in front of people and network with other possible business partners, he said.

Employers who register will be provided with an eight-foot draped booth, a six-foot draped table, two chairs and a sign. Light refreshments will be provided. Registration received by Feb. 25 is $225. Registration after Feb. 25 is $275.
